Terrain Workshop: Trees 6

Let's change things up a little and try to use some parts that aren't Supports or Cylinders to build a couple of trees.


The first part that started off this build -- figuratively and literally -- is a 2x2 Round Brick 45 Deg. Elbow.  Two of these are connected to each other, and the brick-built base, by 2L Notched Axles, which also connects a 2x2 Round Brick.  These form the base of the trunk.  Starting out the branch section is another 2x2 Round Brick, four 3x4 Plant Leaves, and a 2x2 Round Plate.  The next section of branches is the same, except it's capped off by a 2x2 Round Tile.  This gives us a 3 Hit, 26 feet tall, 5 feet thick tree in 6P scale.


This next one starts out with a Green 2x2 Round Brick, just to save some Reddish-Brown ones, then a 2x2x2 Barrel to give the trunk some height and texture.  Then we have a 2x2 Round Brick, a 2x2 Corrugated Round Brick -- again, for texture -- and another 2x2 Round Brick.  The canopy is formed by four Padlocks, four 1x2 Horizontal Clip Plates, and four 6x5 Swordleaves w/Clip, topped off with a 2x2 Round Tile.  This gives us a 3 Hit, 20 feet tall, 5 feet thick tree in 6P scale.


Now that I'm done re-tree-ting for the week -- I make no apologies for that pun -- I hope I've given people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.
